"Who knew?" Month-Week #3: Prince Palace Dumpling House

When I first read some online reviews, this sounded too
good to be true—a dumpling house that rivals Manhattan’s Chinatown?On Bath Pike in Bethlehem?

Prince Palace is literally a hidden treasure—a spacious restaurant
sitting far off the road can be easily overlooked.However, if you are looking for authentic
Asian cuisine, family-friendly, with hospitable staff and unbeatableprices—consider this treasure
discovered.

The menu inspires ordering an assortment of dumplings, “steamed
juicy buns,” egg rolls and more due to the inexpensive prices.Dumplings (including our recommendations:
shrimp boiled; chicken and napa cabbage boiled; curry chicken boiled) range
from $3.50-4.75 for 8!Steamed crab and
pork juicy buns were bursting with flavor $3.95-7.25 for 6.A bowl of chicken corn soup ($1.75) was
tasty but heavy.

We took our friends back for a second trip and enjoyed
exploring more of the menu.This time
our meal ended with a sweet Asian dessert.We also ventured into their beverages including coconut milk tea and
bubble tea. ($2-2.75)Prince Palace is
ideal for large parties and take-out.For a home gathering, you can purchase frozen dumplings (50 for
$15-22.00).
